Yes, the front inside wheel well area will need to be cut to accomodate the new front bumper. The rears as well. You'll see as you go along. Have a dremel with a cutting bit at hand and you'll be all set.

I know the rear had to be trimmed, but I didn't know about the front? What needs to be trimmed exactly and how much? I installed with a friend with no directions and we did not trim the front. How important is trimming the front?

I don't think you need to go out and buy a Dremel. I had a 4" grinder and a Dremel and I ended up using a good set snips for a more accurate cut on the fenders. I found with power tools they are very torquy and you do not get a good cut for such a small area, but to each his own.
